what do you think about what jim is saying? >> it's a big city and the president has a very, very competent secret service. to not have him come to the memorial service would have been, i think, premature. we had no idea where these people were. and, you know, he can be secure and still have two people on the loose. who knows what they knew at what stage. but if there was any risk, you'd just have to assume that no one is going to put the president at risk. i think want's really interesting about what's come out so far, from what i can tell, they've spent most of their time here. they spent most of their time in cambridge. so this idea of radicalization occurring occurred, if it did, occurred here. or it didn't occur. in other words, this was something else. it was madmen, it was all sorts of things. and so we had this debate of whether terrorism or not, and i think we're seeing the consequences of being able to wait and see what, in fact, these -- what was animating these two that they're chechn n chechnyan, yes, we know that.
